conductor.manager module contains 'spacing' parameters for periodic tasks, they do not work because manager module imported before parsing config options. There is not such problem in Nova which uses create() method in class derived from common Service for lazy loading manager module. Because this derived class not needed for Ironic simple load_manager function added to common.service. Partial-Bug: #1279774 Change-Id: Ib31024c8eaf75d38de09983459d86125847cdf30
Ironic
Ironic is an Incubated OpenStack project which aims to provision bare metal machines instead of virtual machines, forked from the Nova Baremetal driver. It is best thought of as a bare metal hypervisor API and a set of plugins which interact with the bare metal hypervisors. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI in concert to provision and turn on/off machines, but Ironic also supports vendor-specific plugins which may implement additional functionality.
